My participation in the CMO-BIRS workshop impacted my current research in that I started a new project with Francesca Arici and Mathai Varghese ( a new collaborator ) who were also among the participants. We are already starting to write a draft of a paper ! We hope we can finalise it in a couple of months. We definitively got a fresh insight and new result on a project that Arici and myself had been working on for sometime.

Being a mathematician, it was really useful to meet physicists working on topological materials and learn about their perspectives.

The workshop at CMO last week on topological phases of interacting systems was a great success. The program was a balanced mix of mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Almost all talks generated animated discussion. I learned a lot and came home with new ideas that will simulate my research for time to come. It was my first visit to CMO and it was a totally wonderful experience . The facilities and services were all one could wish for. Oaxaca is an attractive destination and I am sure the many participates who traveled long and far (from Europe, Israel, Japan, Australia etc.) did not regret a minute that they made the trip.

There were many interesting talks. Also I had the opportunity to get to know many colleagues from around the world.
